Elon Musk continued to drip-feed details of his #controversial plan to take Tesla Inc. #private , saying late #Monday that he’s getting advice from #Goldman#Sachs Group Inc. and private-equity firm Silver Lake.
In a #tweet late Monday #California time, the #electric -car maker’s chief executive officer said he’s also lined up legal #advisers for the possible #transaction . A Tesla spokesman said Musk’s tweet refers to his own advisers and attorneys. Tesla board members didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.
Controversy has swirled around Musk’s plan since the moment he announced it in a tweet a week ago, with some #investors and #lawyers questioning his claim to have secured #funding for the move. Musk’s tweet about taking Tesla private hadn’t been cleared ahead of time with the company’s board, the New York Times reported, and the Securities and Exchange Commission is scrutinizing his statements.#pomblogsales#worldnews#happeningnow#america#elonmusk @teslamotors #newyork
